    The mother failed to show a reasonable prospect of success under s63A because the trial judge's factual findings and discretionary conclusions—supported by social welfare and psychological reports, evidence of effective parallel parenting and smooth handovers, and findings as to the children's adjustment—were not shown to be plainly wrong or based on error of principle; accordingly leave to appeal was refused and the judge's costs order was left undisturbed as a proper exercise of discretion given the wholly unmeritorious applications.
